摘要
The intact 741 hp polyhedrin gene of LsNPV was sequenced by Silver Sequencing System, and shares 90.6% and 97.0% nucleotide identity, 97.2% and 97. 6% amino acid identity with PfNPV and MdNPV polh genes respectively. The 14 hp conservative sequence with the core element GTAAG,is located in the 5'untranslated region of the gene. The polh gene was predicted to encodes a 246 amino sold residures with molecular weight of 29.0 kd, in which the number of acidic amino acids and alkaline amino acids was roughly equal resulting in almost no charges in polyhedrin protein molecule and hence occlusion body. It gives a valuable implication that ionic bonds as well as hydrophobic bonds and hydrogen bond may Play an important role in the crystallization or polyhedrin, by comparing amino acid variation of twenty-one polyhedrin. The comparison of promoter regions of polyhedrin gene and class Ⅲ gene shown that they are very similar, but also have differences in GC content.This could explain that both categories of gene are highly expressed, and polyhedrin genes are expressed more higher than class Ⅲ gene.
